I love the novelty of analogue drones. A blend of retro and futuristic!
I've watched several videos of you flying beginner drones and you never stick the landing. It's almost encouraging, because it shows how much skill is needed. Anybody can still make some mistakes.
Ha ha, It is because I’m old FPV school. If you don’t know what skid pads are for drones and why they existed, then check it out & note that I land as if I was still flying in that era.
That under the table maneuvering was sweet Steve👍🏼… maybe one day I’ll be into fpv quads, for now, I’m heavy into the fixed wing stuff!!!!great review as usual sir!!
Hi Steve, you are a very good salesman. I ordered one at halfway point. Now, I'm watching the rest of the video. Cheers.
Hope you enjoy it!
this little one looks fabulous
Love your enthusiasm. Got me back into the rabbit hole. Now I'm looking for a good but reasonably priced ready to run kit. But after watching your great content I'm spoiled for choice and can't choose. Thanks for the awesome reviews and insightful quality that I have accustomed to.
Glad I could help!
Excellent Video, and Excellent Value. Thank You Steve.
Here is another one on my list captain oh my captain, another good video😂🎉
Many thanks for sharing Captain; great package however still enjoying the "Blue Angel" (and have ordered the basic Beta Goggles for it) its simply superb !!!
WOW 😲😳 awesome FPV drone. It's got all the goodies and remote control, googles and etc. And a pretty good
Price.
Hi Steve My friend. Thank you so very much and God bless 🙏.
A really great deal.
Always great information enjoy the weekend
Always great videos.😀
Can't wait for next video
Another cool drone..tq cap!
Great little starter kit
Really great footage
Good afternoon captain nice drone cool set up
fun review, thanks!
I wear puma socks too!! This made my day.
Hello Steve another good video. I didn't know this was available or I would have gotten it. I saved up and just got one of those C-Fly faith mini's that you reviewed on here.. you helped me get back into RC's. I started watching you approx. 4 yrs ago and since then I get most of my stuff via your reviews. But the next thing I wanted to get into was fpv. I started with getting a dji mini flymore combo when they first came out, then a sky king rc plane then I get an horizon hobby aeroscout. I didn't see it on the show but it was a push prop like my skyking and wa8 a good easy bird to learn on from all of the reviews I read. Then someone broke into my car last summer and stole my dji mini so I wanted to get a new nini 2 or 3 but couldn't afford it so I got the faith mini as a replacement for half the price. Hopefully it's not only half as good.lol I trust your opinionated you said it was good for the money. Also into rc trucks and cars. Started with a wltoys 144001 then got an arrma granite box V3 and got a traxxas slash with the robbie Gordon Dakar body. Thanks for helping re light the fire in me. When I am RCing everything else just falls away😊
Wow, you are turning into a true RC hobbiest with great taste in RC products. Thank you for enjoying the channel.
class review captain.
Thanks alot for this review next month I'm going make the purchase ,love your vedio take care godbless
I just ordered the emax fpv set to get in the hobby. But thats definitely the next one i could use to learn trix.
Thank you TJ
That looks like a super good drone and the drome seems to be decent since you get alot for your money
Finally, did my first first person view flight today. Tinyhawk 3. 😊
Great Review cool little drone if I was a beginner I would get it
🧡🧡🧡🧡💚💚
Hi Steve. Great Video. I just got one of these kits and am practicing on a simulator.
Hi Steve, I'm having trouble connecting the controller to the drone after using the controller with the simulator on my computer. I've tried the instructions for binding the controller and am then plugging in the drone battery once the controller is in binding mode. Do you have any tips or hints for me? the drone is connecting to the goggles easily. I have the throttle down but when i switch the left toggle down to arm, the motors won't start.
Holaaa
its a clon of mi first quad, GEPRC tinyGo 4K...(i see you video to lear) Hi from Chile...thank for all you videos, i learn so much whit you, in my first year of FPV.
same desing in the controller and the goggles. 😎
Different bumper colors so you can make sure the marks on your walls match the wallpaint color? 😁
Can we use that controller in the simulators ?? Please tell me
Nice 1 Steve
Awesome.
Saw one Video, he use GoPro on it. But he did say what kind of Drone he use. Now i know the drone, thanks for this Video
Damn this kit look sweet for the price, id jump on it but not being able to fit glasses on the goggles is a deal breaker for me.
Nice👍👍
I can appreciate the sturdiness
I just ordered one today how are they with they're shipping and everything are they transparent do they keep a good communication line
Fun video ! 😃
All in one kit for $250.00,
This would be fun in a gymnasium for beginners !
Hey y’all. I just wanna share a little about this combo. First off the drone rips and is very well built. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the radio and goggle. The goggle screen plunked out after a few weeks and the radio antenna needs to be protected at all cost. It’s only held on the board with a few solders and they bent and snapped while in my bag. I would totally recommend the drone though.
Nice video I am curious about FPV drones after having a Dji mini 3 for 2 weeks now
I started out with the beginner gps camera drones from DJI (designed to be unboxed and flown by beginners day one), then years later I tried my hand at the Advanced FPV hobby and fell in love due to it being exhilarating. It does require a bit of skill to fly but with practice your brain will lock in and you’ll be hooked.
Dang man, I know my way around your house better than mine, LOL! Thanks!
Steve can you review the Walkera T210 mini seems like an interesting package with motion controller and fpv goggles. Has yet to be reviewed well... thanks
I just ordered this kit, with 6 extra batteries. I also ordered the Hisingy Stargazer, so my son can learn how to fly FPV with me. I have 4 DJI Drones, The DJI FPV Drone, Mini 3 Pro with RC Controller, Mini 4 Pro with RC 2 Controller, AIR 2S. This hobby is very expensive.
You and your son will have plenty of fun. Flying FPV is very difficult if you have only flown DJI drones or DJI FPV drones in Normal and Sport modes… but with practice you’ll get it!
Can i use that controller in lift off
You could always lean out of that comfy chair, put the drone on the ground, and give us a good demonstration.
Great review thanks man!
Does it have altitude hold like the new CetusX ?
Nope, not like the CETUS X with FC (optical flow stabilization).
I personally got this kit and I love it thanks❤😂
Oh and also my drone didn't come with air and acro mode So is there a fixed for it
@@user-cm5qj1hz9y These are kits so you get what you get. If you wish to learn about BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR then you can certainly add any mode you desire.
Thanks
Great video and review. Being a fixed wing pilot since the 70's and my experience with drones in older DJI Mavic's. Just bought a Radiomaster TX16S 4 in 1 version which I use DSMX for fixed wing. It is ELRS module capable. I would like to know what Goggles to purchase? I wear GLASSES...thanks for your help.
If you fly drones with ANALOG cameras and you wear prescription glasses you either have to get small rimmed menu reading glasses so that you can fit BOX goggles over them, or you can buy FPV BOX goggles that have a detachable screen and then somehow attach it to your radio controller (Banggood has those ones) or if you have deep pockets you can get FATSHARKs goggles that have individual eye pieces and allow for each eye piece to be focused.
18650's with the safety nub on positive may be enough for the controller and less expensive.
Can you make a review of this fpv & Cetus X please
Hi....love your channel and presentation....whats flight time please and would digital signal give a more stable image?.. subbed 🇬🇧
To see the DIGITAL image and flight time (5 mins average), watch my full review of the WHOOP16 with Walksnail Video.
Hi Steve, another great video!!, what do you think it is better fpv drone to start, this one o cetus x?
Thanks a lot
If you have Terrible hand/eye coordination then the Cetus X FC is best (very forgiving). The Sub250 is more like a real FPV drone and requires a bit more flight skill.
Does the Ph 2.0 battery connect to the 16-woopfly drone? When u plug it into the little charger it says GNB27.
Thanks
Great video. I've been looking into FPV drones for my son and this looks like it would be great. I didn't know drone sims existed. Is there one that you'd recommend over another for the best experience?
Your son probably has an account on STEAM and there are plenty of sims there
Great review! Would you recommend this over the geprc tinygo or cetus x?
It depends on the pilot. Pilots who believe they have terrible hand/eye coordination (I.e., can’t play a first person video game shooter), should stick with the CETUS. If skills exist then either the Geprc or Sub250 are great.
How long do the batteries last when in constant flight?
Can you show how to get 200mw? Please!!
Thank you for the reviews. What about this compared to the Aquila16 kit. This whoop seems to fly better, but the transmitter and goggles seem less. Which one overall? I have a birthday present coming in the form of one of these.
Aquilla16 is designed for people who fly DJI Mavics for a living and would fund flying an FOV Drone difficult. The Whoopfly16 is less forgiving but still a beginner kit (takes a bit more skill to fly)
That's a good deal
Hi, where can I buy in the uk looks like a fun toy to learn with
Like you, I wear glasses. Suggestions (or a video?) for a newbie wanting to get into the FPV hobby, but without spending mega $$$ on goggles would be welcome. Great video and as always, thank you.
I started out by wearing those cheap RESTAURANT MENU READING GLASSES under my really cheap inexpensive goggles. You get such glasses at all the budget stores like Walmart or any Pharmacy. It worked for years until I could afford FATSHARK FPV goggles that had a focus for each eye. That's for ANALOG drones. Today for DIGITAL drones, the goggles are very expensive but most have a focus for each eye or you can purchase prescription lenses that go over each eye piece (again, all expensive).
Nice looks like fun!
What do you suggest for a beginner drone for photos and video?
For photos/video in FPV there is the DJI Avata
Is it better than the tiny hawk 3 plus????
looks like the same exact radio and goggles that come with the GepRC Tiny Go. Except it uses ERLS in the radio instead of FHSS
They do indeed look very similar
Hi again Steve👋
Which pair if fatsharks do you have, and do you recommend them?
Mine are Fatshark HD O2. Not something I’d recommend for beginners due to price and the need to buy your own video receiver and antennas.
I just bought the geprc tinygo 4k. Mostly because it records 4k 60fps video in the onboard sd card.
Glad you are enjoying it
@CAPTAINDRONE798 they done some upgrades on that drone. Its elrs spi. Has that remote instead of the original that took 4 AA batteries. The vtx is also 400mw now instead of 200mw.
That’s a great set up for us on the fence guys. Like many others I am worried about glasses. You can buy frames that slide into ski goggles and add your own prescription. Have you tried them or heard of any other workaround?
I have not tried the ski goggles type but a few years back I bought the foldable menu reading glasses that you can pickup at Walmart or Pharmacies (I just a pile of them on until I found a pair that let me focus a foot in front of my eyes… since they were small & foldable, I eventually lost them… but they did work).
So tempting even though I'd be barfy 😞
Which flight sim did you use?
i like this goggle..............
Thanks for the review steve. Seems like a decent drone. I teach a drone class and need to buy 10-20 drones. Need to keep as close to $100 as possible. Have any ideas?
This is the only one at that price: czcams.com/video/pxs2Z8K4Vb0/video.html
Thanks Steve for your knowledge and great videos. I am a newbie to fpv. I also wear glasses myself but for reading only. I was wondering if I need them wearing goggles. It looks like they have a magnifier in them. I do fly rc planes and want to expand into the fpv world with them and drones. Thought this kit could kill two birds with one stone. What are your thoughts? Keep up the good work. Also what is the name of the song at the end of all your videos and who sings it.
If your prescription is very low, than you may not see a blurry screen. What some people do is wear those tiny Restaurant Menu Reading glasses
Are the antennas sma ?
@CaptainDrone How do i connect the controller included in the whoopfly analog drone kit with an fpv simulator.
You just connect the USB cable from Radio Transmitter to your computer. If there was a special button sequence I would have shown it in the video. If there was something important you needed to know about connecting to your computer, I would have shown it in the video.
This or the cetus x?
Wow I might get this drone. Not sure about the head set but what fatjack are you using and what antenna and the module? :)
Fatshark HD O2 with Rapid Fire & mushroom/patch antenna combo
Hi! Quick question, which one is worth buying whoopfly 16 or aquila 16? (i am beginner) good video btw!
For people with terrible hand/eye coordination, go for the AQUILA16
What's the battery life? Seemed short on the video
I'll probably end up picking one of these up, but what about the battery voltages? Is there any info on when I should stop flying and what to charge it to for flight and storage?
Stop flying when voltage is 3.4.... you can go down to 3.2 but that could be too low for the battery charger to bring them back to life.
Hey man thanks for this review - can u use this controller with Mac/ flight simulators?
Didn’t I do just that in this video… watch again.
Great Video👍! Is this radio compatible with a simulator?
Yes
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I can't get it to work with tryp fpv do you have any idea what i can do?
@@TeaDuck8you’re probably doing something wrong or missing a step or you have not configured the remote in the sim. You’ll figure it out eventually.
I think I will ask for Christmas
Hey captain again a super nice review !!
Looking to get my second Fpv drone had the avata with the motion remote
Now looking to do tricks and sold the avata
I’m thinking either this one or the Cetus x
What would you buy I hear the Cetus has the movable camera angle is it a lack on this one ?
Wich would be better for freestyle around my house
Great video, new viewer. Just looking to get started in fpv. But interested what the best way to mount an action cam on this would be? Im talking about a feather light one like Insta360 go2.
I use double sided tape or zip ties
@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks. Would you tape a shell mount style holder or the cam directly?
@@olyrussell9872you want the least amount of weight, so directly
In what topics this model is better tham the Emax Tinyhawk 3 plus?
Anyone with experience in both models can help? For what I will buy?
Great kit! I've been eyeing this for some time and waiting for your video on it.. thank you!
I was hoping you'd be able to get us a discount code for it.. but doesn't look like it's happening :)
Which one would you recommend? Cetus X or this one?
The Cetus-X is very good but limited as your skills improve. This one by Sub250 allows you to fly pro as your skills improve.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Do you think as your skills improve you would just upgrade to new equipment (drone/goggles/transmitter)? And based on that, would you still recommend the Sub250 for skill building?
@@VincentACoreyHell yes. These RTF kits are ONLY designed to get someone into the FPV hobby and then you upgrade everything to pro gear (if you hav not done your research yet have a look at the cost of good FPV Goggles, Good radio, Good battery charger, Good FPV Drone and you’ll be shocked). FPV is only for people with pilot skills, technical know how, and access to a bank account to get started. When you eventually learn how to fly the sub250 without crashing then you need to make the decision if you are gonna buy ANALOG, HD ZERO, WALKSNAIL or DJI FPV Goggles. After that you’ll buy a pro hobby radio and learn how to create a model, then you’ll buy an RC battery charger and finally you’ll buy an FPV drone compatible with your goggles and radio. It is all baby steps.
Very exciting. I'm looking forward to starting my journey. Your videos have been very helpful.
flight time ?
Hello Steve, i was wondering 2 things, is the remote has a port for sim on pc? And what are the awesome goggles you are using.
Thanks Steve.
In this review, didn't I show it working with Flight Sims? If a remote works with Flight Sims, I always will show that in the review. The goggles would be my old ANALOG FATSHARK goggles (they have a prescription lens for each eye so people with poor eyesight can adjust each lens to their eye).
Hey Steve, hope all is well with you and your family.
How does the whoop fly 16 rtf analogue kit compare to the Betafpv rtf Cetux x Fpv analogue kit as you have flown both..
I wouldn’t say I’m a 100% beginner but I’ve never flown FPV but I have been flying freestyle drones etc.
Also, when it comes to size, how would you compare the whoopfly 16 to the blade torrant 110??
Are they both the same size. ..
Just wanted to say thanks for doing what you do as you help a lot of us out..
God bless you and your family Steve .
Thanks
Ted
The Cetus X is excellent to get started in FPV but it is limited once you get good at flying well, whereas the Whoopfly Kit can allow you to fly like a pro as your skills improve.
Hey Steve, it says that you replied to my message I sent you but I don’t see anything. Could you please send it again
I got it Steve ..
Thanks
Thanks for your input Steve..
So i really want to buy this because it looks good for just having fun in the house but i live in the uk and do u know if anywhere i can buy this?
I think SUB250 only sells on the SUB250 web store.
Hi Steve, Big fan of your channel, new to fpv world! looking for the best fpv kit so far and i m a little confused, so i will ask you directly which are the main differencies between this whoopfly16 rtf kit and the getprc tinygo 4k rtf kit ???
So far only the camera is the big difference i can spot... please help me!
They are very similar so have a look at price
So this is basically the same kit as the Tinygo, yes? The tx and the goggles are exactly the same, just stamped with a different brand logo.
I’m not sure because the Tiny Go I reviewed many years ago was different. It has more than likely been updated.
Btw, is this drone capable to handle a small fullHD camera for better vid. capture ?
Not really. You could place a small insta360 GO 2 on it, but that extra weight will affect your flight time and performance.
Quick question!! Does it have a hover mode? For kids that are learning?
Nope. You would want a DJI GPS Camera drone for that purpose and not an FPV drone.
Steve would you take this or the cetus x as a beginner? I really like my mini 2 but want to get into fpv
I recommend the Cetus x for anyone coming from DJI MAVIC style drones as such pilots have poor hand/eye coordination due to flying such drones. The Sub250 is a more true FPV drone but it means you need average hand/eye coordination to enjoy it.
How would you say this compares to the newer TinyGo ELRS version?
I have not tried the Newer Tiny Go.
Hey there Steve, looking to get into this myself. I'm an avid video gamer/flyer so I'm hoping some skills will transfer. Regardless, I know you're off in ON while I'm over in "slightly" colder MB. I'm debating between this one and the Whoopfly 16 all-in-one kit. Any leanings?
For part of my vacation I'm actually in Winnipeg, Manitoba (imagine that). So this one is indeed the Whoopfly 16... what is the other one you're considering?
Oh the Cetus X all in one kit.@@CAPTAINDRONE798
I see you fly above the houses and I have one question about the restrictions. What is the difference between less than 259g and over 259g? Is it the registration of the drone and the pilot certificat? The distance from peoples and building? I am sure that a lot of viewer should be interested to know like me.
In North America the rules for unmanned objects piloted from the ground are less strict if the unmanned object is under 250 grams. In Canada, where I live, the only rule for under 250 grams is the “common sense” rule which simply means, don’t be an idiot and annoy people with you little drone. Since I’m a drone pilot, I’m fully certified by my government to fly drones 250 grams or heavier.
What would you recommend? The Cetus X, Geprc Tinygo 4K, or this? Range is a concern.
Yes to all. If you have poor hand/eye coordination and are not good with technology go for the CETUS X.
The default mode is said to be angle. Do we need to connect it to BetaFlight for air/acro mode or does it come out of the box and you just switched it from the controller?
It should have all the modes out of the box
A lot of these RTF kits has some issues with goggles and glasses. Do you recommend a kit where the goggles are wide enough for glasses and/or has adjustable lenses?
I have not seen an RTF kit that works with glasses. All the RTF Box Goggles are too small to go over average size glasses on an Adult.
Hi, regarding the goggles and glasses wearers? Can you give us some measurements please?
Only small rimmed glasses, like Ben Franklin, would fit.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 ha ha, he preferred kites...
